Reflection on Today’s Scripture Readings

As Jesus taught the people about the bread of life, He told them that He Himself was the life-giving bread sent from the Father. In this final portion of His teaching, He challenged those who came to Him, “The bread which I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh.” In response to the Jews’ disputes over these words, Jesus simply repeated, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life.”

To John’s original readers, the constant litany - “eat”, “drink”, “flesh”, “blood” - would have resonated with the same sacramental overtones that they hold for us, turning their thoughts toward the Eucharist. In the sacrament of the Eucharist, we are connected with the one atoning sacrifice by which Jesus offered Himself “for the life of the world.”

Every time we celebrate this mystery, that same sacrifice is somehow made present to us. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Eucharist is a “memorial” in the biblical sense of the word: “not merely the recollection of past events but the proclamation of the mighty works wrought by God for men. In the liturgical celebration of these events, they become in a certain way present and real.”

The Eucharist is not just a reminder; it is a real sacrifice and a real gift. “In the Eucharist, Christ gives us the very body which He gave up for us on the cross.” Whenever we celebrate the Mass, we participate in a representation of Jesus’ death and resurrection. When we receive Jesus with a disposition of faith and love, we enter into those actual events of His life-giving sacrifice. We not only receive bread and wine – or flesh and blood, for that matter. We receive salvation. Let us rejoice that Jesus has given this gift to all generations until He returns in glory.

“Lord Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross and Your resurrection to new life. Thank You for making that redemption present whenever we celebrate the Eucharist. We humbly accept Your presence among us, and we trust in Your great promise that whoever eats Your Body and drinks Your Blood abides in you.”

Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!

“Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise...”- Ephesians 5: 15

A wise person recognizes that all we have and all we are comes from God. A wise person thanks God continually throughout the day for all His many blessings. A wise person realizes that God has blessed us for a reason and that He wants us to help Him build His kingdom on earth.
